Bite

Overview

"Atsugi Bonjin's first performance on returning to Japan after studying in New York. The work had four chapters, and the following words were included in the programme:

By a luxurious and desolate display window, as Life is swept away / The frozen glass of the display window
Life's conscious mind / As limescale breaks free and / Escapes
To Bite is / to Kill / to Bite / to Chew and / as Chewing continues Wear clothes, sit on a chair and / Wipe the mouth with a napkin"
